TECHNOLOGY’S IMPACT ON ACCOUNTING & FINANCE JOBS
CFOs are three times as likely to see job gains instead of losses due to advanced technology.
Executives predict there will be:
| Significantly more/some more jobs created than lost 59% |
| No net change in jobs 22% |
| Significantly more/some more jobs lost than created 19% |
When asked if tech makes positions in the profession more or less appealing, CFOs said:
| Less appealing 19% |
| No difference 20% |
| More appealing 61% |
Top 3 reasons these jobs are more appealing:
| 1. Greater insights into the business to help with decision making |
| 2. The opportunity to work with advanced tools |
| 3. More time for higher-value work |
